# QuizMed > QuizMed turns a medical student's own lecture notes, slides, and PDFs into exam-style practice questions (MCQ, true/false, short answer) in under 60 seconds, then lets them practice in-app and export to Anki. Unlike question banks such as UWorld or AMBOSS — which test you on their pre-written content — QuizMed generates questions from your own curriculum, so you practice exactly what your professor and your exam will cover. QuizMed is built for medical students preparing for in-house university exams, USMLE Step 1, USMLE Step 2 CK, PLAB 1, and similar MCQ-based assessments. Upload a lecture PDF, slide deck, or pasted notes; QuizMed produces exam-format questions with plausible distractors and explanations, tracks your scores, and exports decks to Anki (.apkg) and study notes.
